Aristocrat Interactive expands Lightning Link to BetMGM Casino Alberta

• Aristocrat Interactive has expanded its Lightning Link feature to now be available online
• The launch of the popular game mechanic comes with BetMGM Casino Alberta
• Aristocrat Interactive is excited to step up the reach of its signature land-based casino game and mechanic

Aristocrat Interactive is bringing a slice of land-based expertise to the iGaming market in Alberta through a new partnership with BetMGM Alberta. The alliance focuses on the Lightning Link High Stakes game by the developer, which is now available to BetMGM Casino players in the Canadian province.

Aristocrat Interactive debuts Lightning Link High Stakes game across multiple jurisdcitions

Even better, this marks the North American online premiere of Lightning Link, with Alberta among the first markets, alongside seven US states and Ontario, to go live with the game, allowing players to experience the popular mechanic in a fresh form.

Commenting on the chance to adopt and launch the feature online, BetMGM Director of Gaming Rob Passerino had this to add:

"Very few slot franchises have achieved the staying power and player recognition of Lightning Link."

Passerino welcomed the opportunity to bring the same level of physical excitement to the online realm of regulated gaming, further burnishing BetMGM Casino Alberta's credentials as a place known for recognizable games, compelling features, and entertainment rooted in the energy of Las Vegas.

Lightning Link is one of the most-recognizedmechanics in the land-based casino world, with Aristocrat and BetMGM Casino Alberta now making sure that it will be similarly available to players online.

New ways to engage players and rivet their attention

The first game to be introduced this way, Lightning Link High Stakes, is the embodiment of a classic, illuminated Las Vegas, with its roulette wheels, poker chips, luxury cars, and splash of opulence.

The game is built around the franchise's signature Hold & Spin mechanic, which brings multi-denomination play, Cash-on-Reels, and a "Big Reel" feature during Free Games, where the center reels merge into one giant symbol. Shared progressive jackpots, including a Grand Jackpot, add to the payout potential and excitement.
